Amendment of Article 9 of the articles of association to read as follows:- Article. 9. Binding Signature The Company shall be bound by (i) the joint signatures of two members of the Board of Directors or (ii) by the sole or joint signature(s) of any person or persons to whom such signatory power shall have been delegated by the Board of Directors. Background The current wording of Article 9 of the articles of association lacks clarity because it states that The Company shall be bound by two members of the Board of Directors of which one signatory needs to be the chief financial officer. It is not entirely clear how the Company is bound if the chief financial officer of the Company is not a member of the Board of Directors, which is the current situation. Therefore, it is proposed to amend Article 9 in order to clarify that the Company may be bound by only the joint signature of two members of the Board of Directors. 1 P a g e A. D.

2 Draft resolution (EGM Resolution I) The General Meeting resolves to amend Article 9 of the articles of association to read as follows:- Article. 9.

Background It is considered not practicable for the Board of Directors to have all financial statements and the management report ready in time for the annual general meeting that pursuant to the current articles of association need to be held on the third Thursday in March of each year. Therefore it is proposed to amend the articles of association of the Company to fix the statutory date for the annual general meeting as the first Tuesday in May of each year. Draft resolution (EGM Resolution II) The General Meeting resolves to amend the first paragraph of Article 13 of the articles of association to change the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders from the third Thursday in March to the first Tuesday in May such that it shall read as follows: Article 13.
